Oscar Beat: Best Director Predictions—Who’s the Wild Card?

The Oscar race is in full swing, and one of the more interesting races that’s heating up is Best Director. 2016 isn’t one of those years where you have a lot of master filmmakers in the mix—there’s no new film from Quentin Tarantino or David Fincher or Wes Anderson. But there’s a fascinating mix of burgeoning young voices (and Martin Scorsese) that’s taking shape, offering up reason to be hopeful for a bright future for cinema as a whole. So without further ado, let’s take a closer look at the Best Director race as it stands now.
